Cawthorn used those endorsements against her, labeling her as the establishment choice who would be beholden to special interests.

24 year old trump fan? Yikes

Madison? and it’s a guy?

A future Timothy Mcvay.

Keep watching these mr. President, you're looking at the beginning of your end! People are going to turn!

Anyone who is pro trump is a mistake. He’s a corrupt conman and a fraud

What could go wrong? For fucks sake NC !

Go Trump! Go America! There are so may more of us than than NPR and the lib mob want to admit.

Gay porn ass headline

. National Socialist Party Radio.

Apparently if you can’t shit on Trump it’s not worth reporting. How’s General Flynn’s case going?

Going out on a limb and saying none of these people are BlackLivesMattters supporters

I bet neither of them condone protesters setting fires.

NPR PURE PROPAGANDA ALL THE TIME and you pay for this crap

Who cares he's young and dangerous

Awesome

Who is running against him in the general election? What's their Twitter handle?

He's 24 w only a HS diploma/'I wanted to go to the Naval Academy' as accomplishments. Yet people dump on AOC who is wildly more qualified. It's funny to see the difference between how a female w/ 2 degrees (economics & internat'l relations) is treat compared a male with nothing.

Great.. Electing them younger, so they can hate / exclude / discrimate for a few extra decades.

More importantly, pro law and order and won the day

Is he corruptable or transparent about taxes and donors ?

I’m assuming he’s one of those alt-right youngins. The United States is a failed state.

So a pro trump guy beat Trump's actual pick. The loser is all of us.

So what's the difference between them?

It’s The Omen 3...!! Damien Thorn...!

He's got the crazy eye.

Is he going to be old enough to hold the office? Constitution says minimum age 25.

Pretty terrifying.

Congratulations and sorry about your loss come November.

I live in this district and I can confirm they BOTH suck - one was a pro-Trump realtor & the other was a pro-Trump real estate investor with a gun fetish. 🤮We were stuck with Mark Meadows for 7+ years thanks to extreme gerrymandering - we deserve WAY better: Moe Davis for NC11!

I'm glad he's young, but I don't agree with his positions.

I sincerely doubt a pro-Trump Republican would have been elected had Asheville not been gerrymandered out of the 11th district.

Horseshit beats cowshit

Disgusting. Both candidates.

So the wise and well-informed voters of North Carolina traded in an old Nazi nitwit for a slighter younger one?

Gross

And just think.... This is the candidate NOT endorsed by Trump.

is this mattgaetz 's other son?

Blech. No thank you.

He's a child. And a conspiracy theories retweeting Trump CULT member.

NPR sounds upset

Still seems like an asshole.

It’s as if racist Karen and COVID Ken had a child, and then let rep Matt Gaetz adopt and raise him. His middle name, I hear, is Nestor.

You shouldn’t have to say you’re pro-2A. Just abolish the NRA.

He claims he cares about 'the disenfranchised, the hurting and those less fortunate.' But is also pro trump, pro life and pro 2nd amend...boy is all haircut and classic gop; no depth, just a shiny new object to grab.

A 24 year old AltRight tiki torcher defeated a middle aged QAnon Karen in a Republican primary. The news here is that Trump endorsed the QAnon Karen because she seemed more safe against the Dem candidate but the Trump Cult wanted more tiki torching instead of calling the manager.

Today’s Republicans aren’t prolife, they are pro-birth. They couldn’t care less what happens to the child once it’s born as long as they’re able to control a woman’s body.

You can't be both pro-life and pro-trump. Just like you can't be both patriotic and a trump supporter.

Can't wait to see what sexual fetish, drug paraphernalia, or weird story will come out about Madison Cawthorn once he's in congress.

he seems to suffer from cognitive dissonance

Cool a young man with the ideals of and 80 yr old circa 1812 ... gross

I like how they’re said to be pro-second amendment. Shouldn’t we pro all amendments?

AOC, cover your drink!

Let’s all be real. ColMorrisDavis is the best candidate for that district.

He's 24 and believes in Trump? Talk about brainwashed, Manchurian candidate anyone?

more accurate: 'pro-Trump, anti-abortion and pro-Second Amendment.' pro-life ≠ pro-Second Amendment

Ommg 24 years old!!! That be the day I would ever vote for a 24 year old even if they were a Democrat. That shouldn't even be legal!! Figures NC.

They all suck

I'll take all the young bloods you can find. No matter their politics.

So, the choice was a pro-Trump guy, or a pro-Trump guy that Trump picked?

the Greg Abbott of NC...trust us from Texas he is an idiot... so NC spare the pain and give him a hard pass.

How does he square being ProTrump and also pro healthcare, taking care of people? Those things are mutually exclusive.

They chose a 24 yo wing nut over a well qualified establishment woman. Not sure this is good news.

Forgot his polo and tiki torch

Right wing is right wing.

one cannot be both pro-Trump and pro-life

Trump picked the other guy but the dude whose brain isnt fully developed yet is pro-Trump anyway.

More of the shame with this Republican Party.

Well even North Caroline deserve better

So how bad must the Trump pick have been?

And he wasn’t even Trump’s favorite to win.

This won't be on realDonaldTrump's daily good news report

A son of Karen. Pass.

Eww

Ugh

Then he can pro f***-off with the rest of them

mole

Gross.

Gross.
